maths fun Logical Thinking
l Take any 4-digit number where not all digits are the same.
l Arrange the digits in descending order to create the greatest
possible number.
l Arrange the same digits in ascending order to create the smallest possible
number.

l Subtract the smaller number from the greater number. Repeat the process
(step 2 to 4) with the result you get from step 4 to get number 6174 as result.
For example, let us take 1542.
Rearrange the digits and subtract: 5421 – 1245 = 4176

Repeat it again: 7641 – 1467 = 6174
Use the Internet and find out what the resultant number 6174 is called.
